Finding a Canadian Embassy Abroad
How many Canadian Embassies exist globally?
Canada has two hundred and sixty plus embassies, high commissions, and consulates in one hundred eighty countries around the world. In Commonwealth countries, Canada uses High Commissions rather than embassies.
Why should you know where your Canadian embassy is located?
Canadian embassies can offer emergency assistance in the event of a crisis such as loss of personal belongings or arrest. They also offer consulate services such as renewing or replacing a passport or assisting with voting while overseas. They can provide information on visa applications or on travel advisories and recommended safety precautions.
